Think of it in just the same way as C++.  Create a "record keeper" 
object.  Either have the agent take note of where it is and it sends 
another "record keeping" object a message indicating that something has 
happened, or rewrite the Grid2d implementation (override putObject) to 
add functionality that notifies a "record keeper" whenever someone gets 
in there.  Then the record keeper object runs "some function", as you say.
